  • Abandoned Don Pablos - Monroeville, PA. Many thanks to Kayla to spotting this old restaurant here in my neck of the woods. I had completely forgot this one existed! We found some old neon signage still completely intact! Enjoy a little look around this place!

    Kayla has Don Pablos chicken nachos in her DNA. It was one of my favorite restaurants and I ate frequently when she was in my belly

    The outside of the building almost reminds me of an old school. Nice fountain inside, too!

    It seemed like that place did really well there. It was packed at times. I was very sad when it closed. From what I remember the food was pretty good.

    Just a note, the garden center at the former Kmart was on the left side of the building as you faced the store. The spot to the right was once a grocery store at one time after it closed kmart used that space for fixtures and backstock for patio furniture.

    Where i live in Michigan, we had a Don Pablos, Macaroni Grill and Logans Roadhouse all next door to each other, all closed at least 5 years ago. 2 still empty, one was knocked down last year and a smaller building put up in its place.

    Very much appreciated. From 1983-1984, I worked the evening shift at this very Kmart after working the day shift up the road at Ponderosa Steak House (now Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza in the Miracle Mile Shopping Center). FYI, the Monroeville Historical Society has an extensive on-line photo collection spanning mid-1800’s to the present. Thanks.

    It's sad to see this Monroeville Don Pablos look like that. That was my favorite and the queso was awesome. It's sad to see the Kmart gone, but Home goods was a nice recovery of the building. I think I've only gone in there 2 times. My Medical Oncologist office is in the building behind the Kmart. Thanks for sharing what you discovered!
